Product Information

Isaac Asimov's Foundation saga epitomises the optimistic aspirations of science fiction. The Galactic Empire is in decline and one man dreams of 1,000 years of change instead of a 30,000-years dark age. Each book explores various bottlenecks on this journey and what happens when the "Seldon Plan" goes horribly, unforeseeably, off-course. --- Adam (staff)
